The Decisioning vertical of our engineering department builds the engine that powers how financial institutions evaluate, approve, and act on risk. We own the core rules, workflows, and data pipelines that financial organizations rely on to make real-time decisions at scale.

You'll own core pieces of the systems Alloy uses to catch fraud and risk at onboarding and throughout a customer's lifecycle, and help shape where our newest AI feature goes next, with real room to define the work yourself.
Design and ship performant Postgres queries and Node.js APIs for our decision engine, which lets financial institutions build custom fraud and risk checks across any type of customer data, built to hold up under real-time SLA constraints
Own, end to end, the systems that let clients maintain their own lists of people, accounts, or countries to automatically flag, block, or approve, keeping them fast and reliable on OpenSearch as they scale to millions of records
Build and extend the AI feature that explains why a case was flagged for manual review and recommends a decision, working with AWS Bedrock and async tools like SQS and webhooks.
Talk directly with internal stakeholders and, at times, customers and channel partners, to turn ambiguous requests into scoped, generalizable features
Partner with the rest of the team on system design decisions as Decisioning's services expand to support new enterprise-scale rollouts

 

5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with real ownership of backend services in production
Hands-on experience writing and optimizing SQL. You're comfortable reasoning about query plans, indexing, and performance under load, not just writing queries that work
Production experience with Node.js and TypeScript
Ability to gather requirements from an ambiguous ask, decide what to build, and iterate.
A track record of talking directly with internal stakeholders or customers to clarify scope, not just executing tickets handed down
Experience with OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, or a similar search and indexing system at scale
Experience integrating LLMs into a production feature, using Bedrock or a similar platform
Fintech, banking, or other regulated industry experience
React or similar frontend experience. This team leans backend, but we still ship full-stack when needed
